List of Dead Famous People is 2016's Most Edited Wikipedia Page

The Wikimedia Foundation has put together a list feature all about itself, revealing the most heavily edited Wikipedia pages of 2016. Unsurprisingly, the list of the famous dead of 2016 topped the chart, with more than twice as many page edits as the second placed article.

That's a total of 18,230 revisions for the Deaths in 2016 page, as the people of the world raced each other to be the first to update it whenever someone off the films or telly or music popped their expensive Prada clogs. Trump's page featured 8,933 edits in second place, as another group of people fought to be the first to track his latest Twitter typos and immortalise them, for a few seconds, until someone more serious came along and deleted them.

Here's the 10 most edited list complete with the number of edits made:
